Gina Carano‘>
(Hey, she could be a lightweight and we’d still love her. Welterweight would be pushing it. Photo taken by Esther Lin for EliteXC; props to Fightlinker.)

Weigh-ins for tomorrow’s EliteXC “Saturday Night Fights” event were held today in Newark, and all fighters weighed-in successfully — meaning that all fighters succeeded in finding the scale and stepping on it. If you’re wondering whether all fighters came in at their assigned weight limits, well, that’s another story.

Normally, she would have one hour to lose 3.5 pounds; however, MMAmania.com learned from Nick Lembo, the New Jersey Athletic Control Board (NJACB) Deputy Attorney, that the regulatory body didn’t want her to cut any more weight at that time.

Therefore, prior to the official weigh-ins, a deal was struck between the Carano and Young camps that the fight would go on and “Conviction” would surrender a 12.5 percent purse penalty.

An embarrassing moment for Carano, to be sure. But on the bright side, Kaitlin Young will probably be able to afford that Jeep Wrangler now. The full weigh-in results are as follows:

should spend more time being a fighter than being a poster girl. she is such a good fighter and probably had no problem making weight way back when fighting was all she did. missing weight for every fight just hurts her credibility and the credibility of her promoters and commissions that make concessions just to sell a fight even if she wins em all.

i wanna go piss myself in front of both of them do hot girls like a weak boy?

When Carano was being interviewed she was like "I had my foot on her neck, I think they call it a gogoplata". She doesn't even know what the move is called but had it down! Tons of potential in her. Has heavy heavy hands.

@Anonymous "It doesn’t matter really because Young’s going to kill her."
You were saying??? HA! Young got her ass handed to her by an "out of shape" Carano. The stoppage sucked but Young was going down. Carano even pulled a fuckin gogoplata!!!

@ eric: thats a pretty valid point IMHO.

I doubt Gina has implants, i see big medical problems waiting to happen if thats the case.

Weight class custom made and still doesn't fit?

It doesn't matter really because Young's going to kill her.

Gotta look into young's record - seems like a lot of people think she will dominate Carano. You have to wonder about this fight though. It is disgraceful & disrespectful for a fighter to not make weight. It's Gina's fucking job to get it done. What's this shit w/ the athletic comission to step in? Never heard of that before. I say, "1 hour to lose the 3.5, fatass!". Make her at least go through the stress of trying to make the cut before finding a decision. I think that Gina looks pretty well cut also - she's not a fatass - but she needs to make assigned weight. I think that 140 is just too small for her. She's a strongly built female athlete.

enjoy your maxim spread of carano, pubeless wet-dreamers, cause young is gonna make her fugly...

Who cares? Gina is way better looking than that female corpse of muscle that she is fighting... I wouldnt touch that Kaitlin chick... and if you are going to compare, sure she is more ripped... but better looking? Come on. Gina is thick and she looks like she knows how to handle a man. You kids must be skinny dudes if she looks big to you, im a decent sized guy and i like chicks with muscle who arent little bones. Gina looks perfect to me in this pic.

wait...so your telling me during all those aired workouts, interviews, and spotlight she couldn't find time to make the 140lbs weight class EliteXC created for her? If she plans on "Acting" like an athlete, just stick to the spandex and padded jousting poles. If she wants to compete do what Turdburglar said, Toss the nutritionist, turn off the spotlights and sit in a sauna for 3hrs, Shit if some guy on TUF can drop 15lbs you can shave off 4lbs before the fight. But perhaps since she didn't need to cut weight she won't gas out in the 1st round like Lutter. though this does she EliteXC isn't about the fight, but the marketing, why force your star to make weight and possibly be beaten when you can just let her take a "penalty" (later bonused back in the locker room) so she won't be out of shape. Shitty night for EliteXC if Gina and Kimbo somehow get beat.

Gina is my BOO! She is soooo freaking hot!! Kaitlin Young ain't no joke either. Check her out. I hate to say it, but my BOO is going to do what she has to do. Her name says it all..........CRUSH!!! If you get this Gina, hit me up at yahoo when you win.

That's BS. Lose the sports bra and you have the potential for the sport's first FRONT naked choke. The world's first cage motorboating could happen tomorrow and you bastards want to worry about breast weight?!?

Gina's failure to make weight is disgraceful. Missing by a pound is one thing (Lutter even shaved his head to try to make weight for Silva) but her inability to weigh-in for a weight class designation made specifically for her is disrespectful to other fighters & demonstrates a lack of respect for the "sport" & the other warriors in it. The cutting of weight may not be "healthy" (depending on how it's done) &/or easy, but it is a part of the fight-game & to come in over, especially by such a big margin is, well.....fucked up plain & simple.

your all haters !!!!!!!. i wanna give them both a nice mouth-pump'n....3-some city. bayyy ba

Jake- May 29, 2008 at 9:50 pm

Perhaps there should be some sort of support tray she can lay those on in order to negate their heft. Yeah, that's it...

Spacealias- May 29, 2008 at 9:31 pm

I wonder how much each implant weighs? There is a couple pounds right there. Is this what we have come to... Girls needing to remove their Bolt-ons to make weight for a Girl Fight?

I would love to get with either of them, or both of them, even both at the same time.

eric- May 29, 2008 at 9:23 pm

The thing that everyone seems to be missing is that gina is at a disadvantage in making weight due to her large breasts. She could be the same size as young but still be five pounds heavier because of her huge chesticles. Their has to be some type of give for that sort of situation.

Gina should have had to take off all her clothes like guys do when they are over the weight limit. I would like that.

ginafatty- May 29, 2008 at 9:08 pm

Her sunglasses look like the weight at least 2lbs.. I agree that she needed to make weight this only gives EVERYONE more ammunition against her. Its her own fault and does discredit her further.. I would still hit it though...

jin- May 29, 2008 at 8:57 pm

damn, if gina lost any more weight then her kicks wouldnt be on point due to the decrease in her counter weights

sarah- May 29, 2008 at 8:57 pm

ignoring all the dumbass comments from 14 year olds who have yet to experience sexual intercourse....

there's no excuse not to make weight, man or woman. i think she's distracted, and not in a good way. plus, those bug glasses don't look good on any girl on the planet.

and Young (yes, we should call women by their last names) looks extremely fit. sure, she didn't have an air-brushed spread in maxim, but it does look like she takes fitness seriously.

i hope it's a good fight.

GC not only needed to lose the goggles butt also she should have been wearing only a thong and a couple of nipple pasties too...
